Current math word problem (MWP) solvers are usually Seq2Seq models trained by the (one-problem; one-solution) pairs, each of which is made a description and solution showing reasoning flow to get correct answer. However, one MWP naturally has multiple equations. The training an solver with pairs excludes other solutions, thus limits generalizability solver. One feasible this limitation augment ...

Fluency with simple arithmetic, typically achieved in early elementary school, is thought to be one of the building blocks of mathematical competence. Behavioral studies with adults indicate that math anxiety (feelings of tension or apprehension about math) is associated with poor performance on cognitively demanding math problems. However, it remains unclear whether there are fundamental diffe...

New search engines exist which take equations as their query, and return results which match either the query’s mathematical meaning or its structural presentation. These results are drawn from scientific papers, online encyclopedias, and math discussion forums. Their scope includes some of physics, a lot of math, and some content from other natural sciences. Development of math-aware search en...

Individual differences in children's math performance have been associated with math anxiety, attention problems, working memory (WM), and reading skills, but the mechanisms by which these factors jointly contribute to children's math achievement are unknown. Here, we use structural equation modeling to characterize the relation between these factors and their influence on non-verbal Numerical ...

In a study of surface branched coverings, one can ask naturally: In how many different ways can a given surface be a branched covering of another given surface? This problem was studied by many authors in Quart. J. Math. Oxford Ser. 2 46 (1995) 485, Math. Scand. 84 (1999) 23, Discrete Math. 156 (1996) 141, Discrete Math. 183 (1998) 193, Discrete Math. (in press), European J. Combin. 22 (2001) 1...

We establish the equivalence of conjectures concerning the pair correlation of zeros of L-functions in the Selberg class and the variances of sums of a related class of arithmetic functions over primes in short intervals. This extends the results of Goldston and Montgomery [‘Pair correlation of zeros and primes in short intervals’, Analytic number theory and Diophantine problems (Stillwater, 19...
